Bake A Christmas 2008 Raises A Record $16,500 For Area Children
Talladega Superspeedway officials joined the staff of WTDR Thunder 92.7 FM to raise a record $16,500 during the twelfth annual Bake A Christmas fundraiser Friday, Dec. 12. The money raised will be used to provide Christmas gifts to less fortunate children throughout the track's surrounding region.
Members of the Talladega Superspeedway and Thunder 92.7 staff encouraged listeners and race fans to bid on one-of-a-kind race packages on-air, while donations of baked goods, racing memorabilia and other items such as gift certificates from local merchants, flowed in throughout the day.
"We are very gracious for all the fan and listener support we received this year," said Talladega Superspeedway Senior Director of Communications and Consumer Marketing Kristi King. "To have raised this much money, especially considering the times we are in, speaks volumes to the generosity and kindness of everyone who participated. Thanks again to everyone who tuned in and helped out."
This year's top selling items were flag stand panels used at Talladega during the final DieHard 500 and Winston 500 races. Those items combined with ticket packages to the 2009 Aaron's Dream Weekend fetched over $1,500.
Tickets to the April 24 -26, 2009 Aaron's Dream Weekend at Talladega Superspeedway are available by calling 1-877-Go2-DEGA or visiting www.talladegasuperspeedway.com. For our hearing impaired guests, please call TDD 1-866-ISC-TRAK (1-866-472-8725). Tickets also are available in person by visiting the Talladega Superspeedway Ticket Office from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. CDT, Monday- Friday.

New mountain biking centre gets Borders economy back on track
As the Tour De France comes to the North of England, a different type of cycling is taking hold in the South of Scotland.
A national centre for mountain biking has recently opened in the Borders, aiming to help businesses cash-in on growing enthusiasm for the sport. As Joe Pike reports:
Masterplan for Glentress
Forestry Commission Scotland has announced it is to develop a masterplan for Glentress Forest.
The Peebleshire forest is home to one of the biggest mountain biking centre's in the UK, which attracts 300,000 visitors each year.
FCS want to look at ways in which they can develop the forest further, and link it to nearby communities such as Peebles and Innerleithen.
One key component of the project is that they want the views of the public.
Workshop sessions were held today and will be held tomorrow for members of the public to express their views.
Teenage biker injured
A teenage mountain biker has suffered a serious head injury after an accident in a Borders forest.
The 14-year-old boy from Bathgate, West Lothian, fell from his bike on the cycling track at Glentress Forest near Peebles, on Sunday afternoon (19th November).
He was airlifted from the scene by heli-med and taken to Glasgow's Southern General Hospital where his injuries are described as " serious" but not thought to be life-threatening.
Glentress Forest is one of the UK's most popular downhill mountain biking venues and attracts hundreds of visitors from all over the country each week.

Climate change is now considered the greatest long-term threat to coral reefs, with some future change inevitable despite mitigation efforts. Managers must therefore focus on supporting the natural resilience of reefs, requiring that resilient reefs and reef regions be identified. We develop a framework for assessing resilience and trial it by applying the framework to target management responses to climate change on the southern Great Barrier Reef. The framework generates a resilience score for a site based on the evaluation of 19 differentially weighted indicators known or thought to confer resilience to coral reefs. Scores are summed, and sites within a region are ranked in terms of (1) their resilience relative to the other sites being assessed, and (2) the extent to which managers can influence their resilience. The framework was applied to 31 sites in Keppel Bay of the southern Great Barrier Reef, which has a long history of disturbance and recovery. Resilience and 'management influence potential' were both found to vary widely in Keppel Bay, informing site selection for the staged implementation of resilience-based management strategies. The assessment framework represents a step towards making the concept of resilience operational to reef managers and conservationists. Also, it is customisable, easy to teach and implement and effective in building support among local communities and stakeholders for management responses to climate change.

The entire lineup is listed above, with notable acts including Wu-Tang Clan, Dipset, Kendrick Lamar, DJ Quick, Psycho Realm, Dilated Peoples, Living Legends, Hieroglyphics, People Under The Stairs, Three 6 Mafia, RA The Rugged Man, and more.
That's a great lineup! I would love to be able to go there! Unfortunately, living in Canada, I'm always far away from these big festivals…
Just to see RA alone it'll be worth going to this event. I wonder if the Wu signed like a 10 year contract with Paid Dues they seem to headline every year, not complaining just saying.
@Normont Terrorist: Yeah, I saw RA live when he was touring with Jedi Mind Tricks and he put on an amazing show. After his set, he was selling his own merch. I went to buy his CD for my friend who doesn't speak english and RA was sweaty as fuck from his set, so he grabbed a shirt from the table to wipe his face. Then he looks at me and asks me: "Do you want a shirt too?" while handing me the sweaty shirt! Hahaha! He's a funny dude.

Getting to the Bottom of the Bizarre Bank Merger Between Wells Fargo and Wachovia
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Last October, in a stunning turn of events at the height of the Wall Street crisis, Wachovia backed out of a deal with Citigroup and agreed to a $15 billion merger with Wells Fargo — the biggest bank merger ever. The Charlotte-based Wachovia had recently collapsed under the weight of its own mortgage portfolio and Citi had come to the rescue, offering a rock bottom $1/share that Wachovia accepted in order to avoid bankruptcy. A few days later, Wells Fargo swooped down with an offer worth seven times as much, and Wachovia gladly accepted.
The Wells Fargo deal confused most observers, infuriated Citigroup, resulted in weeks of intense legal wrangling, and ultimately went through. It was an odd marriage, pairing a Charlotte-based bank that had financed the sun belt's housing bubble with a San Francisco-based bank that had largely avoided it.
How did the two banks come together? What was the real story behind this deal?
As it turns out, a Birmingham, Alabama-based construction aggregate supply company appears to have played a key role in this merger. I recently blogged about this bizarre discovery (part of our Spot.us research project) without offering too much detail. Today I'll make my case.
Wells Fargo and Wachovia didn't have any obvious leadership ties at the time of their merger. Network graphs of their boards and top executives show no interlocks. In the graph below, the two companies are in grey and people are in green. The grey lines represent relationships. As you can see, there are no individuals with ties to both companies.
But that changes when you expand the graph to include Vulcan Materials, a Birmingham-based concrete supplier. On the Wells Fargo side, Donald B Rice — the chairman of Wells Fargo until 2007 — sits on the Vulcan board. And Wachovia's board included not one but two Vulcan Materials board members: Donald M James and John D Baker II. These interlocks are diagrammed below.
These three individuals have very strong ties to Vulcan Materials. Donald B Rice, the Wells Fargo director, has been on the board for nearly twenty years, the second longest stint of any board member. He first joined the board in 1986, left to become Secretary of the Air Force, and returned to Vulcan when he left government in 1993.
Donald M James is Vulcan's Chairman and CEO, and has been since 1996. James used to be a partner at Bradley Arant Rose & White, one of Alabama's top law firms, which does lobbying work for Vulcan. John D Baker II is a relative newcomer to the company, as the former CEO of Florida Rock Industries, which was purchased by Vulcan for $4 billion in 2007. The Vulcan-Florida Rock sale was large enough to attract the attention of the Justice Department's anti-trust division.
Strong ties to Vulcan certainly bridged the gap between Wachovia and Wells Fargo, but is this enough to conclude that the company played a key role in the merger? Probably not. These board members knew each other…so what? Corporate America's social networks are dense.
But what happened after the Wells Fargo-Wachovia merger suggests that the Vulcan Three were key players: two of the four new seats on Wells Fargo's board went to the Vulcan directors. This is shown in the diagram below.

London, United K...
This started out life as a second muslin for my T-Shirt Block based on Burda 2012-09-123. It was wearable, but not flattering as the fabric was too thin so I looked like an overstuffed sausage. Not one to waste fabric I decided to cut a new front that has more ease and reuse the rest. Burda 2013-02-113 was perfect: Interesting front with plenty of drape & ease and a back that was fitted like a basic T.
I experimented a bit with adjusting the fitting and the sewing techniques, some of which weren't quite successful. I'm not sure about the end result either. The color doesn't really go with anything else in my wardrobe and the boob area isn't as flattering as I'd hoped. If I were to remake this I'd lower the CF – a deeper V, and pleat instead of gather the bust ease.

Now [Maya] Sings the Song
I've definitely been slacking on the blog front, but I feel as if today is the perfect day to get back on track.
The literary world lost yet another great today, one of my absolute favorite writers. That being said, a moment must be taken to dedicate a few words to her.
When I heard of Maya Angelou's passing this morning, I didn't want to believe it. My first thoughts were something to the effect of "who will be our voice now? Who will tell the world of the strength of our race? Who will make them listen?"
Maya Angelou was more than a writer. She was an activist not only for African Americans, but
for women for all. She was the epitome of a "Phenomenal Woman" and her works, her voice, her strength, her passion taught us all a lesson on how to achieve such for ourselves. Her persistence, despite the constant oppression she endured, speaks volumes to and for African American women because as a whole we are still constantly kicked, pushed and spat upon by society. Her very existence, (along with that of the hundreds of thousands millions of powerful Black women) her perseverance, her determination, her presence demanded acknowledgement from the masses and, as a result, she commanded a new type of respect from all who had chosen to be dismissive of Black women.
a writer, a female writer of color, I have spent many nights engrossing myself in the work of authors that know my struggle. People that have worked tremendously hard to overcome the stereotypes placed upon them that tell them they will never amount to anything but a subservient being in a society that works so hard to ensure the dominance of a people that have stolen, raped, maimed, beaten and tortured to get where they are. Because of writers like Zora Neale Hurston, Chinua Achebe, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Juan Rulfo, Toni Morrison, Langston Hughes, James Baldwin, the illustrious Maya Angelou and so, so many more, people like me can write in a much more freeing capacity even though, yes, we do still have to face opposition; yes, our voices are still being overshadowed by the voices of those of a lighter complexion; yes, we do still have to fight to tell our stories; yes, friends, the struggle is real.
Despite all of this though, we still have to face the fact that the leaders of our past, those that stood in the face of opposition, those that fought for our freedom and who refused to be thought of and spoken about as property, as possessions, as less than human, those who refused to be silenced and who paved numerous paths for our advancement are indeed advancing in age and passing.
And so the question remains: Who will speak for us?
Who will make sure we are not passed over because of our color? Who will remind the world that we have a voice, that we deserve to be heard, that our thoughts, our opinions, our accomplishments, our struggles are relevant and worthy of acknowledgement, of praise, of respect.
The time has come for the 20 somethings of this era to realize that just because our ancestors fought for equality, just because America has an African American president, just because we are not in shackles that this does not mean we will always have the niceties currently in our possession. Socialized racism still exists. It always has and remnants of it will always exist. When, and only when, we have become fully cognizant of this will we truly be able to overcome these prejudices and succeed. Only when we really understand the struggles of our ancestors, of our parents and grandparents will we really be able to progress.
In short, put the blunts, the 4 Lokos, the Glocs, and the Photoshopped pictures of all the guap you're not getting down. Pull up your pants and pull down your skirts. Have some respect about yourselves, read a book, learn about your past and the fine fight fought in your behalf. Work to make sure that the paths cleared by greats like Maya Angelou, Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcom X and your great-grandmother were not in vain. Don't let the world continue to look at people of color as delinquents, insignificant, as flesh and bone, but less than human. Fight for the equality that you deserve because you are worthy, because you deserve it, but also because "[you] are the dream[s] and hope[s] of the slave" ("Still I Rise").
Let's Talk About February…
So we're a good week and a half into February and I'm totally behind schedule on my usual "Don't be extra super nice to me in the month of February because I'm your only black friend" rant. And with videos and parodies of Samuel L. Jackson's latest incident with a super uninformed reporter circulating around the interwebs and the fact that someone just told me that they couldn't wait to share their knowledge of Black history with someone, I've decided that today is the day to talk about it. Look! I even made a list!
1) Please, please remember that while you're learning facts about Black people that should have been taught in school EVERYDAY: This is not Hug a Negro Month! Sure, we're friends. Sure, we see each other regularly. But if you've never hugged me before, please don't start in February! This is suspicious activity and you will immediately render yourself untrustworthy.
2) Don't try to impress me with all of the new things you've learned about Black people. I'm Black. I've been Black for twenty something years. I will always be Black. Just because you just found out that socialized racism still exists doesn't mean I haven't felt the repercussions of it my entire life, because guess what? I have! And it ain't gonna stop just because it's Black History Month.
3) Don't feel sorry for me because of new things you've learned about Black History. Sure everyone knows about slavery, right? Discrimination is over, right? Black people have equal rights now, so what's the big deal, right? There should be a White History Month too, right? Wrong. Referencing the beginning of this post, lets think about what Mr. Jackson's interview really means to the Black community.
By now, I'm sure we all know what happened, however, some of you may not understand why this is such a big issue. It's not because a national reporter didn't do his research. It's not because Samuel L. Jackson went off. Sure, these are major factors, but the real problem here is the alarming level of disrespect that a Black man still gets, regardless of the level of success he has reached in his lifetime. Samuel L. Jackson is one of the most famous and most wealthy actors ever. But, even still he is confused with another Black actor, because let's just be honest, there are very few older African American male actors out there. That being said, he shouldn't be confused with another because it's not like there's 500 to pick from. But I digress…
4) If you go out on the street and ask someone that is not of the American minority if racism still exists, they will immediately tell you that it does not. They may even take the time to "educate" you on the fact that slavery ended years ago and that all that ended with Civil Rights. But guess what, it didn't. It hasn't and it won't. For the rest of my life I will more than likely have doors closed on me because I'm an African American woman and I'm okay with that. Why? Because those that are that simple minded are not the ones I want to surround myself with. But let's face it, these people exist and constantly prove that no, racism is not a passing fad and yes, it is cross generational and cross racial.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is this: Don't hate someone because of the color of their skin. Don't try to impress someone with your knowledge of their culture because you think it'll make you look smarter, tolerant even (trust me, it won't). Instead take an interest in people because you really care. Take a constant interest because everyone deserves more than one month. History doesn't just happen in a month, it happens over centuries. So instead of using this one month to learn about a culture different than yours, take every month to do so. In fact, take centuries.

Post Purdue: Reflection on Life, Love, and Being There
So let's get serious for a few, yes?
Today, there was a shooting at Purdue University, the same university where my mom just so happens to be attending/teaching. To say that I spent a large portion of my morning pretty scared for my mom, her friends, colleagues and all of the students in West Lafayette, is an understatement. These types of experiences make you sit and think about the
many millions of people that are going through so much more than you are. These are the people that have reached their breaking point and that see no other way out. These are the people that society will quickly label insane, disturbed, psychotic, manic, but really, these people are a lot like you and me.
There are so many stressors in the world today that it's extremely hard to cope. Almost 25% of people will suffer with depression sometime in their lifetime, the same amount of people will suffer with mental illness. But we can't assume that these are the same people that will pick up automatic weapons and kill innocents. We can't assume that these are the people that will snap at any given moment.We can assume, though, that once anyone has reached their breaking point that they are capable of anything. That once we push a person too far out of their comfort zone that they very well may do something dangerous, disturbing, unpredictable, and unprecedented.
We don't know
the name of the Purdue shooter, Cody Cousins, and we don't know what caused him to pick up an automatic weapon and kill a man 21 year old Andrew Boldt, but we do know that something went terribly wrong for him. Something for Cody pushed him to his breaking point and that doesn't make him insane. It doesn't make him clinically ill (though he may be). What it does make him is alone. He very likely needed a friend and very likely didn't have one to stop him. With that in mind, here are a few of my top ground rules to keep in the back of your mind:
1) It's important to be kind to people. Be nice to friends,family, classmates, workmates, children, the elderly, strangers, etc. Why? Not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it's the humane thing to do. You never know what a person is going through and sometimes, just a smile, holding a door open, saying hello, or offering to help someone when you see that they need assistance can change a person's outlook on their entire day. I don't just say this because I'm Southern and because we stereotypically have these traits instilled in us since the beginning of our existence, but because just doing these simple things can make you feel better too. Helping others is refreshing, even if it doesn't take much effort to do so.
2) Be a
good great friend. Sometimes, I complain about being the friend that everyone goes to for advice, but you know what? I enjoy it too. I like being able to be there for people when they need me, not because I know that they will be there for me in return, but because by letting someone vent to you in their time of need you can be helping them so much more than you really know. What if you were the last person a friend called before doing something drastic planning to commit suicide? Or what if you were the last person called before your best friend decided whether or not they were gonna take a job that could change their entire life? Or what if they were just calling to take you to dinner, to go shopping, to take a walk in the park? Either way, you should definitely try to be there for the people you love.
3) If there's something wrong, get help. Admitting that there's a problem is crazy hard, trust me I know. But guess what? It could save lives. Every now and then we all have some major hard times, but talking about what's bothering you with an expert may really help. if you have a friend that you think needs some extra support, try helping them see it. Don't try to force them, don't be cruel, don't be a pain in the butt, but do help in anyway you can. They might not see the love that you're demonstrating in the beginning, but in the long run they will, and they'll thank you for it.
Basically, show love to the people you spend your time with and even to strangers you meet on a day to day basis. You don't have to run around like a love junkie and scream "I love you!" to everyone you meet, but you can show your appreciation for people and the things they do for you in subtle (and sometimes more obvious) ways every single day. You never know, you could save a life.
Peep toes and Pantyhose
So, it's the first day of winter across the Northern Hemisphere and down here good ol' Georgia, it's a whopping 73 degrees. Bone chilling,I know.
Anyone from the Southeast knows that winter weather is really…well, pre-summer with a few chilly days mixed in between. But let's just talk about something pretty important for a moment, shall we? I need people to understand that just because the weather is a bit schizo, your wardrobe doesn't have to be too. And with that being said, there are a few frequent fashion
problems, nightmares catastrophes that top my list every year and I think it's past time that I get you all hip to them.
1) UGG boots and mini skirts. I know, I know. You don't get to wear your UGGs often in the Deep South. It's too flippin' hot, right? But really, ladies. Why line your feet in soft, luscious lamb's wool, but leave your behind subject to the elements? Does this REALLY make sense to you? I don't think it does. And to be honest, I don't think you think so either. Say it with me: This outfit does NOT make sense! Now, how about you go write that on the blackboard 500 times. I'm sorry it took me so long to teach this lesson to you.
2) Sweatshirts (or hoodies) and flip-flops. Now, this is a Southern phenomenon that I don't think I'll ever understand. In fact, I'm not even sure I'm meant to understand it. How about we all just vote to stop it altogether, yes? What? You were just running to the store? I thinks not, fine sir or madam! If you had the time to put on real pants and a hoodie, you clearly had time to lace up a pair of sneakers. You're going to catch pneumonia and I'll be the friend you call to make you hot tea and soup. But guess what, buddy. This girl ain't havin' it this year! Your bad decisions, your germs! Ain't nobody got time for pneumonia!
These are for summer!
3) Shorts and T-shirts. Again, Southern weather is totally temperamental and can (and will) change from the time you've gone to work to the time you go out for a quick coffee break. But that doesn't mean it's okay to wear Chubbies and a tank top in 26 degree weather! This, my dear friends, is where the concept of
commonsense layers comes in. Instead of leaving your house half naked, why not put a jacket or sweatshirt on over that t-shirt and whip that sucker off when the thermometer hits 62 (which it inevitably will). That way you not only look like a well informed human being, you also won't come begging me for the spare jacket I keep in my trunk and I won't have to lie and say I took it out to wash it. Lookie there! No heinous diseases for you and no deception laden guilt for me. With layers, everybody wins!
This is not a winter outfit!
4) Pantyhose and peep toes (or sandals and, what the heck, you might as well throw flip flops and socks or Crocs [I'll write about my Croc hatred later] in there too). Okay, so I'd just like to say that I hate,hate HATE this. Peep toes were invented to (omgosh, you won't believe this) give the world a PEEP at your toes! And if that, dear readers, is the case, why, oh why, would you wear tights or pantyhose with them?! It was cold outside;Girl, my toes was freezin'!; [insert celebrity] wears them this way! No, no, and no! These are not valid excuses. If your toes are indeed cold, why not (by golly, I think she's got it!) wear a closed toe shoe! I know, I know a revolutionary idea. I totally deserve a medal or something. But, no. Seriously, ladies. I know we're Southern, and I'm quite sure your Southern grandmomma, told you the exact same thing mine has been for the past 23 years :Ladies wear pantyhose. But come on! It's almost 2014 and we don't need a pair of jet black ultra sheers to define us as women! The pencil skirts and 6 inch heels are surely enough. Besides,I'm not saying that you can't wear them ever, just don't do it with a shoe that's meant to be open toe. It's bad. Very, very bad. Offenders should be prosecuted.
I could obviously go on forever about this, but I figure I'll give you a bit of time to digest and hopefully spread the word about some of these wintertime nightmares. And if you have a few of your own, feel free to share in the comments section or shoot me an email. I'm sure you're not alone! Until next time,
What the Frack's Been Going on with The Buns
So, first off I'd like to acknowledge that it's been
quite a while for friggin' ever since I've been sharing any sticky situations with my wonderful readers here at The Buns.
So many of you have been asking about my blogging and why it all suddenly stopped; but needless to say, life (aka:college, work, two knee surgeries, a sick grams, the slender remains of my social life, blah, blah, blah) came in and shook me by the bloomers. Ultimately pulling me away from you all. But boy do I have
plenty bookoo stories to tell!
That being said, over the next few weeks I will be revamping The Buns. The who, what, where, when, and why so to speak (and I'll also be recruiting some of my good friends to chime in from time to time) in order to reestablish the deliciousness that was once (and most certainly will be again) The Buns.
So be on the look out for a new look, new stories, and some more good times from me and my contributors. And until then, read through your old favorites, find some new favorites. And be sure to share The Buns with your friends and family.
peace, love and Sticky Bunsto you all!
Happy First Day of Black History Month!
So, as many of you may have noticed, it's that time of the year again. No, not Christmas, not Ramadan, not my birthday, or any other special day you just might feel like celebrating. It's the first day of Black History Month! A whole month to think about black people and their accomplishments (and maybe some failures). A whole month to remember "where 'we' came from". A whole month to act like white people don't exist! (Except when we're highlighting slavery, white male privilege, discrimination, and so on and so on) So, I guess we really won't be acting like Mr. White Man doesn't exist, huh?
But anyway, as a sort of running tradition here at the Buns, I'd like to talk about what Black History Month really means to me. How it feels to be a black woman living in a still extremely (though subtly) racist South. How Black people have actually made more progress than anyone ever thought they would. How we STILL send ourselves back to the 18th century and in turn give truth to some of the ignorant stereotypes placed upon us. And, just some stuff that really cracks me up. But for now, I'll just start with a basic list of thoughts, complaints, and conspiracy theories.
1) Am I the only one that noticed that Red Tails was released 11 days before Black History Month? What's up with that? Why can't black movies that AREN'T produced and directed by Tyler Perry be released in I don't know, say, August? Are black people only relevant the last eleven days of January and the 28 (or 29) days of February? I need some answers.
2) Why, I repeat, WHY do we get the shortest month of the year? No offense to the lovely Hispanic people in the world, but they even get a longer month than us! (It's October in case you didn't know). I'm just still really upset about this. I know that all of the black people inAmerica didn't agree on February for Black History Month. We can't spell it! Nobody can spell it! Anyone remember those spelling tests Mr. White Man gave black people in order to vote? I do. I think history is cruelly repeating itself here. Think about it.
3) Don't come up to me with your sob stories this month. I know that you don't mean it. I even know that most of you don't care what happened to Black people. (No, I don't think we should dwell on slavery, but we most certainly shouldn't forget it happened.) Despite the fact that my parents raised me to be accepting of everyone and to in general "not see color," color exists and black is the most underappreciated of them all. I know it, you know it, and Mr. White Man knows it. So don't come and tell me how much you're sorry for what your people did to my people. Give a Negro a job for once and then MAYBE we can talk about racial inequalities.
4) Speaking of racial inequalities, I don't want to hear one person say that "racism doesn't exist" anymore. Cause guess what, IT DOES. I know that I'm not the only person that heard about Pepsi not hiring blacks because of criminal backgrounds. I'd bet a million bucks that those rats didn't even do further investigations to see if said crimes were even more than a slew of traffic violations. Screw you too Pepsi! You know what, that's why I only drink Coke products! Coca Cola loves Negroes! Anyway, haven't heard of the scandal? Click here. (http://www.thenorthstarnews.com/Story/Pepsi-Bias-Settlement-Awards-3-point-13-million-to-Black-Job-Applicants)
5) Please, please, PLEASE, spare me your limited knowledge on black people as a whole this February, will ya? We don't all have 5 "baby daddies". We don't all survive on welfare. We don't all live "in the ghetto." We don't all live lives of crime. We don't all lack proper English speaking skills. We don't all spend all of our money on the newest pair ofJordan's. We don't all scream obscenities just 'cause it's "cool." We don't all smoke weed all day and all night. We don't all "sag" our pants and walk with our hands on our balls because they have absolutely no support with our pants and boxers at our ankles. We don't all drive CrownVictoria's with 24's and custom paint jobs advertising Cheetos, the Lakers, or Super Mario Brothers. These, my friends, are stereotypes that many, not all, of us have fallen victim to. So no, don't share with me, your "surprise" when you find a black person that appreciates the opera or fine wines or BMWs. They do exist!
So friends, this is all I'd like to share for the moment. Ponder over these things and realize that Black History Month is more than learning about the Civil Rights Movement or MLK or Langston Hughes. I firmly believe that black people should be appreciated for an entire year just like our Caucasian counterparts. What makes white people so great anyway? Dockers? Ray Bans? Ugly Sweater parties?! I think not! We can wear ugly sweaters just as well as Mr. White Man. Watch last week's episode of T.I & Tiny! Ask Kanye West! Heck! Watch the Cosby Show for crying out loud! Even though there are few, no many, who have fallen victim to the stereotypes placed upon us by Mr. White Man, there are many more of us that do not. Take your 19th century constructed glasses of and watch it smack you in the face.
Oh and fyi:
A few of the things that we'll be talking about this month will be:
White Thugs
Rap Music: Degrading or Inspiring?
Reality TV
Not So Popular Black People
Weave Wars
The Tyler Perry Project
and many, many more.
Let's Talk About Soap
There are some things in life that we as mere humans can't control. The weather for example. We can't stop hurricanes. We can only move out of their way. The sex of a child is another example. (Don't get all IVF on me either people. NATURALLY, we can't decide if our little bundles of joy are going to be baby boys or baby girls. And before the 20th century we could only buy unisex onsies for the little buggers too). We can however determine how we smell. Soap is a vital tool for survival in the modern world. More important than updating your Facebook status or tweeting about your rancid tuna fish sandwich or annoying people on Voxer. Yes children. Soap, right after food and water, should be the most important thing in your life. Unfortunately, though, I've recently discovered individuals that are oblivious to this fact. So, I decided to do a little research on the stuff we call soap.
1) Did you know that the Babylonians were the first to use soap? It's true! They had a formula for the stuff written on a clay tablet consisting of water, alkali, and cassia oil. I'm not too sure what this alkali stuff is, but it makes me think of batteries and if the Babylonians were washing in a primitive form of battery acid, I'm pretty sure of how they died off now.
2) The Roman's used soap too! But unfortunately they didn't get it quite right. They used urine. Pee and oils and fats from wool. Maybe I'm missing something here, but that doesn't sound like a variation of soap. It sounds more like a sheep in need of a diaper. Anyway, they had guys that would walk around and collect urine from the many Roman inhabitants and then they sold it to soapmakers. (Now that I think about it, "Pee Collector" could be a very lucrative business. I can just imagine it, "The Pee Collectors: Here to satisfy all of your spilled urine needs!")
3) Soap in the 1600s was a little more risque than that of the Romans mind you. The Europeans started using lye to make the stuff causing many of the soap makers to suffer serious burns or even go blind. (I think I would've just had to dip in the local river had I lived back then. Semi dirty skin is a lot better than severely burned off skin in my opinion.)
4) Let's bring a little up to date now though, shall we? Before WWI, things like animal fats, ashes, and oils were all used to make soap. Shortages on supplies made people a bit anxious though and so ENTER ARTIFICIAL PRODUCTS!! Guess what kind they used kiddies. Guess! Okay, fine. Don't guess. A lof of the stuff they used to clean clothes back then were put into soap to clean people. (I'm sorry, but I don't think I'm a piece of cotton. I know my ancestors were forced to pick the stuff, but I'm pretty sure we didn't morph into big cotton plants during the process, jus' sayin').
5) Have you ever thought of why we have to use lotion? SOAP! Soap takes out many of the vital nutrients our skin needs, kiddies. And so without applying lotion after using soap, our skin gets that super tight, dry feeling. Hence why we have lotion. I don't know about anybody else, but I smell big business. Think about it. People buy soap to not stink, but then their skin is so dry that they have to have some type of salve to make it feel better! Enter lotion! They're keeping each other in business people! This is one business I don't support protesting though. We NEED soap in our lives! But I'm sure you all already knew that.
So now that we've reviewed a brief history of soap and it's various makings, let's take a moment to appreciate the effort our ancestors put into keeping clean. You can have the best personality in the world, but no one really and truly wants to bring the stinky kid home with them. BATHE PEOPLE! Bathe so that someone will want to take you home!

Historic saloon rises from ruins
A half-century later, Jose Rafa Malem remembers the balmy breezes blowing through the bar's arching porticos, the grain of the tall wood stools, the whiff of Pedro Domecq brandy on his father's breath.
And how could he forget the tangy ground-beef-and-tomato-sauce sandwiches synonymous with what was then one of Havana's hippest hangouts, playfully dubbed Sloppy Joe's? "I ate so many, I got tired of them," said Rafa, a 59-year-old Havana native who grew up to become a bartender.
Soon, Rafa will be able to relive those boyhood memories as the original Sloppy Joe's reopens in Havana's historic quarter, giving residents and tourists from all over the chance to belly up to the same bar that served thirsty celebrities such as Rock Hudson, Babe Ruth and Ernest Hemingway.
It's part of an ambitious revitalization project by the Havana City Historian's Office, which since the 1990s has transformed block after block of crumbling ruins into rehabilitated buildings along vibrant cobblestone streets.
The effort has helped finance Cuba's socialist present by drawing tourists fascinated by its pre-socialist past, from colonial palaces of the 18th century to celebrity hangouts of the 1950s.
"For the people of this city, I think it's very interesting and very important to rescue a place that has so much history and is so recognized around the world," said Ernesto Iznaga, manager of the born-again Joe's, which will be run by state-owned tourism concern Habaguanex. "To restore it to how it was before."

Valentines Day Poems
I Love You When
I love you all through February,
Not just on Valentine's Day;
I cherish you when flowers of spring
Appear in the midst of May.
I adore you in the summer,
When the air is filled with heat;
Without you in my life each day,
I wouldn't be complete.
I treasure you in fall,
When leaves are turning gold;
I loved you when you were younger;
I'll love you when you're old.
I prize you in the winter,
When colder days are here;
I love you, love you all the time,
Every minute of the year.
So I'll give to you this Valentine,
But I want to let you know,
It's not just today, but always,
That I will love you so.
—Joanna Fuchs

Yeah I used to work at A college where the roaming profiles were slow logging on.
What size are your profiles ?
Is DNS Setup correctly ?
Are you on a Gigabit Network ?
At the college the profiles where 2gig and the network was 100 meg, we limited all the profiles (Netware network) to 50MB and we upgraded the entire network to gigabit, this dramatically made the logon times better even for staff who have 1GB profiles.

Maggie Thatcher has died. May her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Mother Mary, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Mark Shea's Blog: So That No Thought of Mine, No Matter How Stupid, Should Ever Go Unpublished Again!
Maggie Thatcher has died. May her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Mother Mary, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
May God have mercy on her soul.
Amen. God rest her soul.
cbc.ca were quoting some of her most famous sayings; I love this one: "If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman." 1965 speech
(Sorry, I could not resist!) We may not have always agreed with her decisions, but she still has been a tremendous example of a woman being able to reach a very high level position, and I am sure, doing the best she could. One particular point is that she seems to have been an honest politician.
It's sad that the only memory I really have of her is the parody song "Reagan with a Blue Dress On".
Thatcher was one of the three who brought down the Iron Curtain. Wonderful book by Paul Kengor, "The Judge: William P. Clark, Ronald Reagan's Top Hand." It was Clark's idea to get Reagan and Thatcher to engage in an alliance with Pope John Paul II. The book has stories of secret meetings in DC between Reagan administration officials and Vatican diplomats, all before the US had diplomatic ties with the Vatican. Great stuff, and she was crucial to the plan's success.
All I will say is that I hope her encounter with Bobby Sands goes better than I think it will, for her sake.
Glenn, I also read a book (in French) that showed that three Polish catholic men whose names started with a "W" had a very strong influence: Pope John Paul II (Wojtyla), a cardinal who had been imprisoned for several years by the Communists, Wishynski (I am not sure of the correct spelling) and the electrician and union leader who started the Solidarity movement, Walesa. And the three of them had a very deep devotion to Our Lady. There was a spiritual side to those events, not just a political side.
Too bad she was pro-choice, otherwise she may have had a good legacy.
Here is supposidly one priest's opinion of her:
The adulterous, abortion supporter from introduction of abortion act in 1967 and every amendment afterwards that liberalised it – except for Northern Ireland) ;and hater of children, (remember her taking the milk from poor children when education minister) ;divider of families, when members of families had to leave home because parents could not afford the tax for each head(Poll); divider of villages in Kent, to name but some; briber of the police (by massive pay increase) to questionably prevent people passing through Dartford Tunnel on lawful business; and the murderess who ordered the bombing of the Belgrano moving away under white ensign, hundreds of Argentinians Killed. She was a psychotic dictator feared by members of her own cabinet. The one and only, (T G only one.) Margaret Thatcher has died.

The need to accurately identify people is important for security (and for not embarrassing yourself by hugging strangers).
Children who do more physical activity are likely to improve their health and it might also help them improve their school grades.
A poll finds that people in the Middle East see religious and ethnic hatred as their biggest threat; Europeans and Americans are more concerned about inequality.
As soon as women announce 'I'm having a baby!', the congratulations are quickly followed by long lists of dos and don'ts about food.

Air Quality Improvement Programme - Putting Students' Health and Safety First
Dulwich College Suzhou has completed a major programme during the summer to improve indoor air quality throughout all 3 schools and its Boarding House. In response to concerns over air pollution late last year we were the first school in Suzhou to install PM2.5 air purifiers into all classrooms and offices in January. However, this was only the first step in improving the indoor air quality for the students. This latest upgrade programme includes the addition of filtered fresh air systems in every classroom plus the gym, libraries, aquatics centre and dining halls. Headmaster, John Todd commented, "This is another first for any school in Suzhou and speaking as a parent myself, I am delighted that Dulwich has invested in the fresh air and air purification systems necessary to provide an optimal environment for learning."

Obamanomics: A case study
The Chinese are about to buy a Massachusetts battery-maker, and the American taxpayers might have doubly subsidized the deal.
On Tuesday a federal bankruptcy judge gave the OK for auto-parts maker Wanxiang America Corp., a subsidiary of China's Wanxiang Group, to buy A123 Systems, a Waltham, Mass., maker of batteries for electric cars. Wanxiang is to pay $256.6 million if the deal is approved by federal officials. But that is not where the taxpayers come in.
The taxpayers are already in the deal. They got in via a $249 million Department of Energy grant in 2010. It was part of the federal "stimulus" bill. A123 has received $133 million of the grant.
As with Solyndra, the solar-panel maker that was approved for more than half-a-billion dollars in federal financing before it went bankrupt, Obama administration officials approved hundreds of millions of dollars to a "green energy" company not based on its financial prospects, but on Obama's personal preference for alternative energy.
These "investments" are financed by U.S. debt, much of which is bought by Chinese investors. The Chinese own $1.4 trillion in U.S. treasury bonds (that's after selling some in the past year).
If the sale is approved, Wanxiang will walk away with a steal. It will get a battery maker the Chinese thought was worth $450 million, and it will pay just $7.6 million more than A123's 2010 federal grant. A bust for taxpayers becomes a boon for Chinese investors.
But that is not all. China is awash in interest payments we taxpayers are making on federal treasury bonds. If some of the Chinese profit from those payments was invested in Wanxiang, then taxpayers have subsidized both ends of this deal via interest payments on debt used to finance A123 in 2010 and to finance its purchase in 2012.
This, in a nutshell, is Obamanomics. Enjoy; we're getting four more years of it.
